Netscape Navigator is Open Sourcs Software. Netscape Navigator is GPLd. Please (everybody) read the sig tag. It's OK to b!tch when things don't go right, but if a person doesn't report a bug once in a while, or make some other kind of contribution, that person is a leech if he or she uses OSS.

I've reported a bunch of bugs to Netscape but never seen any evidence that my reports had any effect whatsoever. As to contributing code, I think one of the problems there is that it takes a very large investment of time in order to be able to contribute anything whatsoever that's useful. It's not enough to be able to program, or even program well; you need to become familiar with a very large code base, and that's difficult to do on a part-time basis.
